| Many UK Universities promote their master students to big companies that they are associated with. In addition many dissertations are sponsored by big companies so may get in touch with the real think yourself. Finally you can try and combine your curent job with a two-year part-time master!

Masters in the UK is sometimes so bad that when coming to North America they won't even recognize it as a Bachelors!!!
I know two people with this problem and both of them came from UK universities (not technical colleges)...

| If ur talking about Applied Sciences then Masters in UK is pathetic as compared to USA. There is no work load, they put no pressure on you, there are "revision" weeks and they treat you like a child. MSc from UK cannot be compared to MS from USA.

Well if you are Indian then it's a great choice, definitely ranks better than a Master's in the UK, at least for the people in the know...
If you're not from India or the region, doing a Master's or higher in a US or equivalent university still can be the best...
